Kiki Dimoula and Mourning

Above all, Ms. Dimoula mourns her first husband, Athos Dimoulas, a poet who encouraged her to become one, too, and who died in 1985. She honors his memory in her 1988 collection “Hail, Never.” In writing that book, “all I was thinking was, how could you get back what has disappeared?”“All my poetry is about that,” Ms. Dimoula said.
